WIL'DOW'SASH ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 2c, 1919.

Application filed February 3, 1919. Serial No. 274,718.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD Bnsoonu, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook, State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWindow-Sash Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of window sash appliances in whichmeans are pro vided for preventing noise and rattle of the sashes instormy or like weather, and has for its object To provide a simple andsubstantial structure formation and association of arts, capable ofready assemblage, disassem lage and replacement, and adapted toeffectively force and hold the sash members against their guide railsand prevent noise and rattle of the same, all as will hereinafter morefully appear.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a detail side elevation showingthe present appliance in place upon the window sashes.

Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section.

Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the parts in a detachedcondition.

Like reference numerals indicate like parts in the several views.

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates a portion of the upper sash, 2 aportion of the lower sash, and 3 the vertical guide rails between whichthe sashes have vertical movement in the usual manner.

4 designates a base plate or member adapted for attachment by screws orlike means to the uppersurface of the lower sash 2 and formed with anobliquely disposed socket sleeve or standard 5 having a receivingorifice of a narrow flat form similar to the cross-section of the end ofthe spring which is fitted to said orifice in the assembled condition ofthe parts of the present appliance.

6 designates a curved lip or flange extending beyond the rear and upperend of the socket sleeve 5 and adapted to act as a guide for the readyinsertion of the. above mentioned spring member of the appliance intothe receiving orifice of said socket sleeve.

7 designates the spring member of the appliance formed of a fiat stripof spring steel or the like. Before assembly the spring member 7 is of astraight form, but in actual use is sprung into the curved form shown inFigs. 1 and 2 to ali'ord the resilient stress required in the appliance.One end of the spring member 7 has a slip fit in the orifice of thesocket sleeve 5 aforesaid, so as to be capable of ready withdrawal byhand for replacement or repair, while the other and free end of saidspring member is adapted for resilient bearing against the inner surfaceof the upper sash 2, and in the preferred construction shown in thedrawing such bearing contact is efi'ected by a roller 8 journaled in aclip piece 9 secured by rivets or like fastening means to the said freeend.

Having thus fully described my said invention what I claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. An anti-rattling appliance comprising a socket sleeve adapted forattachment to a sash or the like and provided with an obliquely disposedreceiving orifice, a spring member formed of a fiat rectangular strip ofspring metal one squared end of which has a slip fit in the receivingorifice of the socket sleeve aforesaid, a clip member having a slip fitwith the other squared end of said spring member, and a bearing rollerjournaled in said clip member, substantially as set forth.

2. An anti-rattling appliance comprising a socket sleeve adapted forattachment to a sash or the like and provided with an obliquely disposedreceiving orifice and a curved flange adjacent to the entry end of saidorifice, a spring member formed of a fiat rectangular strip of springmetal one squared end of which has a sh fit in the receivin orifice ofthe socket s eeve aforesaid, a clip member having a slip fit with theother squared end of said spring member, and a bearing roller journaledin said clip member, substantially as set forth.

Signed at Chicago, Illinois, this 31st day of January, 1919.
